In the Financials module center , under Quick Links, click Receivables Summary.

The Action column contains links for the following actions. To open the document, click the link.
- Summary: View a summary message that displays both the number of days overdue and whether a collection letter is needed.
- View: Open the Transaction Data Entry form for the transaction.
- Remind: Send a collection letter to those with an outstanding balance. The system does not currently support automatically sending reminders.

Enable Invoice Accrual Percentage CFGEnableInvoiceAccrualPercentage	When enabled, an Accrual % field appears and can be used to anticipate bad debt on the following receivable invoices: Freight Invoice, Claim Invoice, Time Charter Billing, Voyage Other Revenue, and Voyage Expenses Rebill. Accrual % defaults to blank. Blank is interpreted as 100%. You can manually set Accrual % to any value greater than 0. An Update button appears so that you can modify Accrual % on invoices that are posted; prior to posting, you can save the invoice to update its Accrual %. The Accrual % value has no affect on posting; the full invoice amount is always posted. On the Voyage P&L: Invoices with Accrual % values of 100% or blank are handled normally. Amounts for invoices with Accrual % values other than 100% are split between three lines: The top summary line shows the accrual amount = (original invoice amount × accrual %). If you expand the summary line, the next line shows the original invoice amount. The line below shows Provision for Bad Debt = (original invoice amount − accrual amount). On Monthly Accruals, for invoices with Accrual % less than or greater than 100, the amount accrued = original invoice amount less provision for bad debt.
